Gooseneck Tablet Holder, Tablet Stand : Flexible Arm Clip Tablet Mount Gifts, Compatible with iPad mini Pro Air, Kindle, Switch, Galaxy Tabs, More 4.7-10.5" Devices - Gray

I absolutely love this thing and use it all the time! It makes night-time browsing, watching, or reading SO much easier! I wouldn't recommend it for something that requires a lot of interaction, unless you'll be pairing it with some bluetooth device, as reaching up from bed will quickly tire your arms. The contraption does have some shortcomings, but for the most part they're fundamental issues of engineering something like this. I think the one thing that isn't, is the fact that they use a plastic screw-handle at the base, that according to many reviews is far too easily breakable, and I believe that (though I have not yet broken mine). If you take care not to over-tighten this part, I believe it can live on for a reasonable amount of time, but this is certainly the weakest aspect of the device. I imagine it was done to help keep the price at a reasonable level, especially considering how much metal must already be in it. But personally I'd pay the few bucks more for a sturdier, metal clasp at the base. Another common gripe about this device is that it will constantly slip downward from what you set it to. It's certainly easy to configure it in a way that this happens; that's not a fault of the device, but of the general problem of what you're trying to get it do (I imagine a $200+ device might solve it, but nothing this straight-forward of a solution). If you think of it like an engineer (or simply heed the advice of the accompanying paper), you'll twist it into a bit of an S shape to improve the stability of the form, or a spiral if you've the space. Yes, it'll still slip slightly at first, and yes that uses up some of the available reach, but it's a simple problem of gravity vs torque, and there's no way around the necessity. Yet another common review complaint is that the neck itself may break. Presumably yes, if you continually twist in a single direction, or constantly twist and untwist it, it will break down fairly quickly - after all, it's just a bundle of twisty metal threads, yes? For my part, I try to ensure as long a lifespan as possible by minimizing how often I reform the neck, leaving it in the shape it's in when I remove it so that I don't have to twist it back again the next time; and by first untwisting/bending it back to fully straight before reforming to a new shape. I imagine this is harder to avoid if you take it traveling a lot, however. With all these potential shortcomings, why is this still a five-star review? Because it just does such a great job of what it's made for! It's incredibly satisfying to use, and does exactly what I needed it for! And yes, perhaps it may break after half a year or something. Perhaps even only a quarter-year if I'm as unlucky as some of the other reviewers (though I do anticipate that the techniques above will save me from it being that soon, at least!). But so what? At this price?! I'd gladly consider a $5-10/mo "rental fee" for such a convenient (and now quite indispensable) device, so anything I get beyond a few months is bonus as far as I'm concerned. So if it breaks I'll just buy another one (in fact I may buy a spare in advance just in case). So now you know: yes, the bad reviews are for the most part correct. AND all the good reviews too. It's the best tool for the job (AFAIC), but it might possibly break. So what? It's cheap. And still totally worth it. That's my 2 cents!

So the funny thing is, I found one of these on the side of a road while riding my bike one day. I decided to take it home, wash it up real good and it seemed to work well! I set it up on the shelf on my bedside table and pointed it towards my side of my bed, but it required too much moving around and eventually it broke at the small of the neck... Same thing that happened to one of the other reviewers here, who included several helpful photos of not only where it broke, but how he attempted to fix it! :) From my personal experience, I quickly learned of its limitations. This well-thought out phone/iPad holder has two different size (circumferences) of metal gooseneck hoses attached to each other. The lower portion is covered with a durable rubber-like cloth and is tougher to bend. You could consider it to be the “stabilizing extender” of the unit. The upper portion has a thinner circumference covered in a soft silicon-like rubber for ease of shaping. Beware that it CAN break if you mishandle it. Otherwise, it can be quite useful and durable IF YOU: 1. Set it up to have MINIMAL movement. The more you bump or move it, the more likely it will break sooner than you’d like it to. DO NOT CARELESSLY PUSH IT to the side. 2. If you wish to read in bed, attach the base clip directly above your head on the headboard (or shelf)...not at the side where you might end up kinking your neck and have to always move it when you get in and out of bed. 3. Use two hands to bend the thick, lower part of the gooseneck (cloth covered portion), making sure one hand always stabilizes it above the base clip, and use your other hand to bend it where you want it. 4. Avoid bending the top section (the “shaper “ or rubber covered portion of the gooseneck) especially at the joint, the most vulnerable area. If you must move the device out of the way, carefully handle it similarly to the lower portion, as mentioned above in #3. 5. Treat the item gently and with care, always use intention, including how you put in or take out your tablet (the plastic tension holder). Again, try not to BUMP it or push it sideways! 6. Remember “It’s All About That B.A.S.S.” = BALANCING ACT SWEET SPOT :))) A tablet is obviously heavier than most phones. I wouldn’t recommend a tablet larger than 9.7-10” unless you have it in one position facing upwards. To find that BASS, carefully unwind and set the stabilizing extender portion of the gooseneck at a slight upward angle, then shape the upper rubber covered portion into place. Test the position. If it starts to fall from the weight, carefully re-adjust the LOWER portion first (with two hands!) pointing upwards a little more, then re-adjust the upper rubber portion. Honestly, if you can find a better gooseneck than this one that can hold a small tablet above your head without falling, good for you! Forget those stupid clip bases, as they always seem to break or just don’t have the holding power. Forget those extra long goosenecks, unless you plan to only use it for your phone. One suggestion I’d have for the designers of this device, is to offer a longer version...lengthen the stabilizing extender of the gooseneck and deepened the clip to support the weight. This way the user can position it further away from our faces while reading in bed! Also, expect your arms to get tired if you’re typing a long review — like mine are feeling right now! PS... I’ve also purchased an elbow holder that I use for both my iPhone and my 9.7” iPad. I used it to reference photos or my digital artwork as I paint on canvas.. and I intend to use it for digital iPhone recording. I promise to leave a review for that one as well... If you’d like to be alerted when I post my reviews, simply follow my profile! :))) Oh, and don’t be surprised... I have a ton of cool items yet to review! Thumbs up if this post helped you 🤙

This is the third gooseneck tablet holder that I have purchased. The same brand each time. They are great as long as they hold up but in my experience there is one major flaw. The joint between the stiff part of the mast and the more flexible portion does not seem to hold up well. In my experience they last about a year before that Junction fails. Even when I try to avoid twisting at that point, it still seems to give out. It would be nice if they could improve that junction point. Still, it is very handy and worthwhile

I searched the reviews of many table holders before deciding on the Lamicall tablet stand. I was looking for one to attach to the headboard and hold my iPad Air for reading and watching movies in bed. This is a simple and inexpensive solution that seems well made and works well for my purposes. It might not work with iPads or cell phones in thicker protective cases without first removing them from the case. It works however, with the thinner case I use to protect my iPad. Review update: I have reduced my rating because it appears that the tablet holder is going to break at the joint between the two sections of the gooseneck. The connector that attaches the thinner portion of the gooseneck to the thicker section is plastic. It has cracked and is getting more loose with each use. It looks like the two sections will soon separate. This is a good product that works well except for the plastic connector between the thick and thin sections of the gooseneck. An upgrade in that one part to something more durable would change my rating back to 5 stars. Second follow up review: The plastic fitting that connects the two section of the flexible arm failed after about 11 months of use. The failure would have happened much sooner if I had not used a clamp to hold the part together after the plastic fitting began cracking. As i said before, the product fit my needs and is reasonably priced. But I would be willing to pay more for an upgrade to the plastic fitting that would allow the product to last longer. PROBLEM RESOLVED I was contacted by the manufacturer LamicallDirect who refunded the cost of the original product and replaced it at no cost with a new flexible arm tablet mount. The flexible arm on the new product does not have the plastic fitting that failed in the previous model. It appears to be stronger and should not have the problem with failure. The clamp that mounts the stand and the clamp that holds the tablet have some slight improvements that improve the overall performance of the product. The tablet mount has a wider channel that allows more room for a tablet with a cover which is a nice improvement. I appreciate the concern of the company that appears concerned about customer satisfaction and delivering a quality product. I have revised my overall rating accordingly.

The tablet stand served the function up, not only holding my small iPhone 13 mini, but also holding my iPad. I really appreciated that it could hold both. I found that the clamp was wide enough to fit many surfaces so that I could use it while sitting at the table or I could use it in the bed or I could use it in a chair. That flexibility was much appreciated. I found the metal rod to be stiff enough so that the vibration in the movement was not too much. It allowed me to put it in different positions successfully. I use this about once a week for the last six months and am fairly gentle with my equipment. Unfortunately, the metal flexible rod that connects to the phone and tablet attachment has broken. This seems to be a fatigue failure to me. Shifting the position of the phone back-and-forth has worn out the metal and caused it to break. I am confident that my shifting the physician on the phone was not very frequent. So this is a problem. The unit is no longer something that I can use. I have taken a look to see if there is any anyway in which I can repair this. I have not been able to come up with a successful solution. I have now reached out to the company in hope that a satisfactory answer and solution can be found. I do not wish to throw away something after only six months.

I received this product and few weeks went by and so it broken off, which was disappointing at first. However, I reached out to the seller and was blown away by how quickly and professionally they responded. They gave me the option of a partial refund or a replacement with an upgraded version, and I didn’t even have to send the broken one back. I chose the improved replacement, and it’s honestly a huge upgrade. It works perfectly and has really exceeded my expectations. Great product and even better customer service. Highly recommend the improved one.

I have been using this arm (in a cyan colour) for over a year and my dad immediately fell in love with it and got jealous. I decided to get another identical one in a black colour for him and he LOVES IT. Let’s take a look at this arm from vice to head. The part that anchors the arm is a vice-grip that screws tight to doorframes, bedframes, overhanging countertops, tables, basically any extrusion that’s between 1 and 4 inches thick. The contact surface has a large grey soft silicone/rubber pad on it to prevent damage and denting if you decide to screw it onto something wooden or painted for example. The next part is the arm. In the photos, this is the black part. It’s a very stiff core that will STAY where you put it. It takes a bit of effort (I have NO upper arm strength) to position it but once you do, it’ll hold its shape very well. I mentioned the “core” above, because this particular model comes with a really nice beautifully stitched leatherette cover surrounding the arm (that’s the black part you can see, I’ve included an up-close photo). This is a REALLY nice touch that makes it look and feel much better in my opinion. The black arm isn’t the only thing that can bend, however. Another really great feature of this product is that is has a “fine tuning” section of the arm between the black stiff arm and the tablet holder. This part of the arm is white, with a soft silicone coating, and while it’s still pretty stiff it’s easier to move and reposition than the main arm. This is perfect for making small changes to the angle of your device. The head of this tablet arm is really versatile, it spins along one axis, essentially allowing you to spin your device from portrait orientation to landscape orientation without removing the device. (The device will not spin without you actually wanting it to!). There are two braided cords on the back which allow easy resizing of the holding arms, which maintain a steady grip on the device. Pull on the cords to extend the arms, put the device in, and gently let the cords on the back go so the arms close around the device automatically (I have included a photo showing the cord loop being pulled a little bit to demonstrate, but it’s worth noting that a) there is a cord on each side that you can pull, and b) this is not the full length to which they can extend!). The arms and back of the device holder have a soft silicone coating to protect the device against scratches as well as provide more grip. In short, this device ABSOLUTELY deserves the 5 stars I’m giving it. I wouldn’t have bought a second one as a gift if the first one wasn’t stellar, and both are still working perfectly and fulfilling their advertised purpose.

**Review for iPad Flexible Mount** I recently purchased an iPad flexible mount, and overall, I'm quite pleased with its performance. The build quality is impressively sturdy, giving me confidence that it will withstand daily use without any issues. The flexibility of the mount is a standout feature; it allows for easy maneuvering and adjustment to achieve the perfect viewing angle. Whether I'm lounging on the couch or working at my desk, I can quickly adapt the position to suit my needs. The mount holds my iPad Mini 6 securely in place, which is essential for both watching videos and getting work done. However, I did encounter a significant drawback when it comes to attaching and detaching the iPad from the mount. It often requires more than two hands to do so safely, which can be quite cumbersome. This design flaw increases the risk of dropping the iPad, especially if you're trying to manage the mount and the device simultaneously. In summary, this flexible mount excels in build quality and versatility, making it a great addition to my setup. However, the difficulty in removing the iPad without assistance is a notable concern.

I wanted a holder for watching my tablet in bed and this works great. I will note that the clamp keeps sliding forward due to my rounded headboard (see picture) but that's no fault of the product-- it's meant to clamp on a flat surface. It still very much works. It holds my Acer One 10" tablet with no problem. The arm is stiff so it's a bit of a pain to manouver it but it's important that it is because once you find the angle you want, it stays in place. It was super easy to install and I don't find it "wobbles" much when I tap the screen.

Have only used a few times but so far is amazing! I use it for my Kobo Libra colour and it fits perfectly, is very sturdy and good quality

触りごこちや可動域／安定性も他社製の物と比べるとてもよいです。 耐久性は、以前同じ物を購入して使っていて３年くらい使い込んで壊れて他社製の物を購入し使ってみたが１年ぐらいで壊れたのでかなり良いと思います。

Got this tablet holder for my kindle, works perfectly. It also hold my phone, iPad, and Nintendo switch perfectly! You can easily adjust the angle, and whether your device is on landscape, or portrait mode! So happy with this purchase.

The only thing to be sure of that the clamp fits the width of the table or desk. The space I had in mind to use this, it was too wide and the clamp didn’t fit. Aside from that, it a superior quality.
